Nach wie vor sind Frauen in den Bereichen Technik und Design unterrepräsentiert, was dazu führt, dass ihre Bedürfnisse und Perspektiven häufig übersehen werden. Die Überwindung dieser geschlechtsspezifischen Diskrepanz erfordert erhebliche Anstrengungen sowohl in der Wissenschaft als auch in der Industrie. Zwar haben die Diskussionen über Gender-Theorien und die Herausforderungen, die sich aus stereotypen Sichtweisen in den Bereichen Technik und Design ergeben, zugenommen, doch liegt der Schwerpunkt häufig auf den negativen Aspekten. Was fehlt, ist ein umfassender Blick auf den tatsächlichen Fortschritt und die Mechanismen, die ihn vorantreiben. Dieses Buch schließt diese Lücke, indem es erfolgreiche Initiativen und Projekte in verschiedenen Bereichen vorstellt - von der Wissenschaft bis zur Industrie und vom Produktdesign bis zum Ingenieurwesen. Außerdem wird untersucht, wie pädagogische, soziale, wirtschaftliche und ökologische Faktoren zusammenspielen, wenn es darum geht, nicht nur Gleichheit, sondern echte Fairness anzustreben.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
